For generations, women have carried a quiet distrust of one another. It shows up in comparison, jealousy, judgment, or the subtle urge to compete. You see another woman shine, and instead of feeling inspired, something inside contracts. You wonder why. You remind yourself you’re not her enemy – yet deep down, there’s a flicker of insecurity or fear. That reaction isn’t personal – it’s ancestral. It’s the Sisterhood Wound, woven into the same fabric as the Witch Wound itself.
The Witch Wound taught women to fear being seen, while the Sisterhood Wound taught them to fear being betrayed. During the witch hunts, survival often meant silence or accusation. Women were coerced to turn on each other to save themselves. Friendships were broken. Communities were destroyed. Love was replaced with fear. That history left a psychic imprint – a belief that closeness with other women isn’t safe. And so, even today, we hesitate to trust, open up, or celebrate one another fully.
This fear often hides beneath perfectionism and comparison. The Sisterhood Wound whispers, “She’s prettier, smarter, more spiritual, more successful.” It’s the subtle voice that says, “If she’s shining, there’s less light left for me.” But that’s an illusion born from centuries of scarcity and suppression. The truth is, another woman’s power doesn’t diminish yours – it amplifies it. Her success shows you what’s possible. Her light reminds you of your own.
Both the Witch Wound and the Sisterhood Wound thrive in separation. When women are divided, they’re easier to control – spiritually, emotionally, and energetically. But when women gather, something ancient awakens. The fear softens. The walls crumble. And the healing begins. Connection is the antidote.
Healing these wounds starts with awareness. Notice when judgment, jealousy, or comparison arises – not as something to shame, but as something to understand. Beneath those emotions is a longing for connection, validation, and belonging. Offer compassion to that part of yourself instead of condemnation. Every time you choose empathy over competition, you rewrite the collective story.
Community is sacred medicine. Join or create circles where women can share without fear of judgment – spaces where intuition, vulnerability, and authenticity are celebrated. In those moments, something powerful happens: the nervous system begins to relax. The old memories dissolve. The body learns that sisterhood is safe again.
When women heal together, they rise together. The Witch Wound kept us quiet; the Sisterhood Wound kept us apart. Healing both allows us to embody our full, authentic selves – visible, connected, and empowered. The new paradigm of feminine energy isn’t built on competition; it’s built on collaboration.
So the next time you feel that old flicker of fear or envy, pause and breathe. Remember who you are – and who she is. Both of you are reflections of the divine. Her rise does not threaten you; it liberates you. We were never meant to stand alone. Together, we are unstoppable.
